Few weeks ago by shutting out a great terror trying to invade

is a hero. Please welcome to our show Carlos the scientist here too much listener,
cordless had to stay behind in whatever strange desert other world, which was very brave of him.
Even though he's now
oh very far, away from people that love him. Any luck getting back through tonight, veil, not yet! Oh, but I've been explore.
This strange rumbling noise. Here, it's the same rumbling noise. We heard when that terrible light was coming into night veil.
Are you safe? Is everything ok
there. It is again when we shut the
doors. The rumbling in the unbearably bright light went away. This empty desert with the mountain and the lighthouse in the large wandering army all seem so normal. You know, but last night the rumbling returned there. It is again
I need to grab my instruments. I I can't hear it I'll call you back

No one is happier than me to see us run, desert bluffs out of town. Meanwhile,

phones, buzzing Carlos hello,
Carlos. Are you back on the line? Yes, so there
the lighthouse here in the desert, it's on top of a tall mountain and there is a blinking red light on the top of this lighthouse and this blinking red light, always blinks. Ok, that's what it does, but now that the rumbling
returned. Can. Can you hear the rumbling from your end? Cecil?
very loud,
But when the rumbling happens, the blinking red light stops blinking, it just stays on. What do you think that means I don't know. I've talked with some of the army of men and women and others who rome about this desert and they look frightened. They have never seen the blinking light. Stop blinking
is what a blinking light is supposed to do and fear is what happens when a thing that has always behaved. One way does not behave that way at all. They run in.
I'd know when they hear the rumbling and see the static red light upon the mountain. I too am starting to feel scared. Carlos
Remember how you got into that desert. In the first place you went through
a door in a house that did not seem to exist. Have you found any of those doors yet not yet? No Carlos look for those door
There must be at least one left somewhere. I'll start look
very soon, ok but listen Cecil. I'd really like to figure out this rumbling, slash red light thing. I'm a scientist. I need to discover slash, understand things, it's what I do
Couldn't you look for the door while you figure it out? I look for the D.
For some tomorrow for sure I will? Well that's not

You say allowed to a stranger you have known for years. This has been today's horoscopes. Ah, here
calling in again
Carlos Cecil, the rumbling, has started again. The mountain is moving up and down like breathing. There are creeks and groans in the earth in the stones that together sound like a growl, an undulating snarl of something much bigger than any thing that should ever be able to snarl see. So this is a strange place and considering where I've lived for the past couple years. That says a lot. I know Dana used to be trapped here and she has told you about it. I mean I used to wonder how she could call in tax due from this place for an entire year with no cell towers or power outlets. But I've been here for weeks and I have three bars only forty but still and ninety seven percent battery, which was the charge I had when I came through the door in the house that doesn't exist in a temporary peace between the rumblings. I walked with some of the desert arming towards small patch of discoloured sand. We found a swathe of damp dirt, just a handful of red mud and in that mud were several tiny white bones law,
like long legs and short wings of a creature. I can't even imagine I look forward to figuring out exactly what this is I'll, be able to imagine at them, Carlos, I don't think it's safe there listen! I want you to find ways, diesel, nothing and nowhere is safe, but there are things greater than I
greater than all of this? So you can't see it, but I just made a big sweeping hand gesture to indicate everything in the universe, and there are people who must learn about at all how it all works and why
This is what we call science. Yes, I know what science is and I am a scientist. Ok, I understand it's just
it's just that I miss you and
Oh! Oh my! The building is shaking. You can feel it. You can feel the rumbling. Oh. This is exciting. When this is new, the ground is moving very quickly. There is a large lump turning the sand up and down a meaning out over this lead to get a better view of this fantastic abandon our clothes. What happened I got hit. One guess that is that Iraq, how Carlos she saw the rocks, are coming down their coming down the side of the hill I need to take cover. I need to find a curse. Carlos listeners, while the earth still shakes take shelter. This does not feel like one of our government scheduled earthquakes, but if I were you, I would still do as the earthquake safety mascots Duncan. The brown reckless spider always says on small, and I hide a lot. So it's easy to be safe, and with that I take you now to the weather,
it is real and it only shows what a man s name was.
This makes the words mass ass. Carlos, are you there, Carlos
I'm here. Are you? Ok, I'm fine, a scientist is always fine. Doug was real
it, helpful is dug he's one of them.
Members of this great masked army. He must be a captain of some sort given his size and the respect he appears to garner,
as the rocks and boulders came down, Doug picked up a large flat stone and held it above us. The rocks bounced off his makeshift shield. Unfortunately, I dropped my phone. I smashed the phone, something good. I thought I lost you for a while their Cecil. I was despairing. My one way to reach you would be lost for who knows how long, but then you know what something really amazing happened, something tremendous the phone healed itself. Oh, that's, that's!

I don't really have time to make new friends they're nice people.
There is a lot of work for me to do here and the only person I truly care about isn't in this desert. Anyway,
I do not know what the rumbling is. I do not know why some doors, work and others do not. I do not know why my phone never loses battery power and conceal its.
I do not know how long it will take me to pursue this knowledge, but I do know two things. What is done?
of you, I love you too. What's the other thing? You just said it say, so I have to go be patient with me. We have our funds, we have our voices and you have
best voice of them. All thanks for being on the air with me,
we did almost the entire show. Together, we can still do things together in an absence I'll be back
again find that door
Carlos I will, but first I need to see if the red light as blinking again or non ok by Carlos.
This nurse. I wish I could tell you where the rumbling came from and that
we are safe from it. The sheriff
secret seismology team announced that today's rumbling, which caused quite a bit of structural damage and knocked out power for one third of the town,
did not register at all on the Richter scale, which is
thing seismologists used to assign two dimensional numbers to complex multi, dimensional, physical events, but the upshot
We are all alive for
However many two dimensional numbers, we have left

turning our ideas into writing, but
our brand new, show start with this. It's you who do the creating on each episode will talk about a topic of the creative process.
